AGENDA ITEM 6A. SB511 Support Letter-Greenhouse Gas Inventories 5

City of Sand City Staff Report TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Vibeke Norgaard, City Manager DATE: April 4, 2023 SUBJECT: SB511 Support Letter ______________________________________________________________________ Discussion: The City Manager is seeking Council approval to execute the attached letter on the behalf of the City of Sand City CEQA: This action does not constitute a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378. Fiscal Impact: None. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval for signature of the attached letter. 6

SB 511- GHG Emissions Inventories : SUMMARY SB 511 would direct the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to prepare inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for use by cities and counties to use in the preparation of Climate Action Plans (CAPs) and to prioritize the use of funding and resources to achieve optimal reductions of GHG emissions in local communities. Inventories would be especially important to reduce and eliminate disparities and impacts on vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. The bill would provide an appropriation to CARB for this purpose. BACKGROUND The effects of climate change are becoming more evident every day. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said we are in a “code red” condition to take action to reduce the rate and extent of global warming in order to avoid a catastrophe. Scientists have calculated that 2021 was the sixth hottest year ever. The increasing frequency and severity of wildfire; extreme heat; extreme cold, snow, and rain; and drought in California and the world are all manifestations of the influence of climate change. California has taken a number of steps at the state level including AB 32 (Nunez) in 2006 to set up a cap and trade system to reduce GHG emissions, SB 375 (Steinberg) in 200_ to combine land use and transportation planning to reduce GHG emissions at the local level, and SB 32 (Pavley) in 2016 to require that GHG emissions are reduced by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 as well as many other pieces of legislation that address climate change in some manner. The 2021-22 and 2022-23 state budgets include a $56 billion package to address wildfire and forest resilience, drought and water resilience, and climate resilience over three years (although the Governor’s proposed budget for 2023-24 would make $6 billion in cuts to this package) PRIOR LEGISLATION SB 379 (Jackson) from 2015 requires cities and counties to update the safety elements of their general plans to address climate adaptation and resilience strategies. THIS BILL SB 511 will fill a significant gap in the work done by local governments to address climate change. While important actions have been taken and resources allocated at the state level, it is local communities that are on the front line of meeting the climate change challenge. While some local governments, in preparing CAPs and prioritizing their efforts to reduce GHG emissions, have the expertise and resources to produce their own GHG emission inventories, the vast majority of local governments do not. This bill, in directing CARB to assemble and share GHG emission inventories with local governments, will provide critical data essential to the task of drafting the best CAPs possible and making the best decisions on the application of available resources to benefit communities. The bill would have three major benefits: 1) comprehensive coverage across the state, 2) data and methodology consistency, 3) visibility into patterns and progress, and 4) reduced cost in generating GHG emission profiles. The bill includes an appropriation of $2.5 million to CARB to fund the work specified which is millions of dollars less than it would cost local governments to undertake the same work on a jurisdiction-by- jurisdiction basis.

March 21, 2023 The Honorable Catherine Blakespear 1021 O Street, Suite 7340 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: SB 511 Greenhouse Gas Inventories: Support Dear Senator Blakespear: On behalf of The City of Sand City, I write to express our support for your Senate Bill 511 which would direct the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to prepare and provide greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories to local governments for their use in preparing Climate Action Plans (CAPs) and in determining the best opportunities for investing resources to reduce GHG emissions. Sand City is located about 3 miles from downtown Monterey, 7 miles from Carmel and 86 miles south of San Francisco. The City is an exquisite combination of a New York SoHo atmosphere with its inventory of rugged warehouses which are beautifully framed by gently undulating sand dunes and crisp blue ocean waves. The effects of climate change are becoming more evident every day. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said we are in a “code red” condition to take action to reduce the rate and extent of global warming in order to avoid a catastrophe. Scientists have calculated that 2021 was the sixth warmest year ever. The increasing frequency and severity of wildfire; extreme heat; extreme cold, snow, and rain; and drought are all manifestations of the influence of climate change. California has taken a number of steps at the state level to respond to the climate crisis including AB 32 (Nunez) in 2006 to set up a cap-and-trade system to reduce GHG emissions at the state level, SB 375 (Steinberg) in 2008 to combine land use and transportation planning to reduce GHG emissions at the local level, and SB 32 (Pavley) in 2016 to require that GHG emissions are reduced by 40% from 1990 levels by 2030 as well as many other pieces of legislation that address climate change in some manner. The 2021-22 and 2022-23 state budgets included a $56 billion package to address wildfire and forest resilience, drought and water resilience, and climate resilience over three years (subject to a $6 billion reduction in the Governor’s proposed 2023-24 budget). 8

SB 511 would fill a significant gap in the work done by local governments to address climate change. While important actions have been taken and resources allocated at the state level, it is local communities and governments that are on the front lines of meeting the challenge. This bill, in directing CARB to assemble and share GHG emission inventories with local governments, would provide critical data essential to the task of drafting the best CAPs possible and making the best decisions on the application of available resources to benefit communities. The bill would have four major benefits: 1) comprehensive coverage across the state, 2) data and methodology consistency, 3) visibility into patterns and progress, and 4) reduced cost in generating GHG emission profiles. Local governments want to be key partners in meeting the State’s ambitious GHG emissions goals. As a recent reflection on The State of Local Climate Planning suggests, having a state agency take on inventories is an important step in evolving our collective practice. It is a critical part of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of climate action by focusing each level of government’s efforts on their unique role, in concert with the other levels of government. Leading local governments, and some regional agencies on behalf of local governments, have been conducting individual GHG inventories for over a decade, more recently spending nearly $1 million every year collectively to create or update GHG inventories. In addition to yielding the benefits listed above, centralizing inventories would allow these public dollars to be redirected toward action. Thank you for your leadership in advancing the opportunity for local governments to develop data-based CAPs and to make the best investments possible, especially for vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, in reducing GHG emissions. Sincerely, Vibeke Norgaard City Manager City of Sand City 9

AGENDA ITEM 6B. SB379 Califonia Automated Permit Processing Program (CALAPP) 10

CITY OF SAND CITY STAFF REPORT APRIL 4, 2023 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: John Kuehl, Chief Building Official SUBJECT: APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA AUTOMATED PERMIT PROCESSING PROGRAM (CALAPP) BACKGROUND On September 16, 2022, SB 379 was signed into law. This legislation requires most California cities and counties to implement an online, automated permitting platform that verifies code compliance and issues permits in real time for residential solar energy systems. This is defined as a system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating and a residential energy storage system, as defined, paired with a residential solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating. More information on SB 379 can be found here. A City with a population of fewer than 50,000 and not exempt is required to comply with SB379 requirements by September 30, 2024. The City of Sand City is not exempt and meets the criteria due to the city with a population of fewer than 50,000 and a county with a population of fewer than 150,000, including each city within that county. On June 1, 2022, the California Energy Commission (CEC) released a grant solicitation and application for CALAPP through a Notice of Proposed Awards (NOPA). This grant solicitation offers an opportunity for jurisdictions to fund the establishment of an online solar permitting program. The grant solicitation announced the availability of up to $20 million statewide in grant funding. This grant is on a first come, first serve basis. Applications will be accepted until May 1, 2023. DISCUSSION The City is proposing in its application to utilize the SolarAPP+ Software tool or equal that was designed to be utilized to comply with SB 379 and is free to adopt. The software was developed by local governments, code bodies such as the International Code Council (ICC), solar industry groups, environmental organizations, and building safety groups. This software would simplify and streamline single-family rooftop solar permits. Solar App+ can approve most applications without delay and streamline application processes for the City. When customers need residential rooftop solar 11

panels on their home, the software would review, approve, and process the permit instantly. The software will be updated with code requirements regularly. The customer would bring that approval to the City’s building department for final approval. The City of Sand City is able to apply for up to $40,000 based on the City’s population size of under 50,000 people. The funds would be utilized to comply with SB 379 for in- house staff labor costs and cost associated with the hardware, software, maintenance, and training to implement the software program. The City has worked with in-house IT to ensure coordination and IT requirements are compatible with City systems. BUDGET: This funding would augment the City's ability to meet SB 379 requirements to implement the software with up to $40,000 in grant funding. Without this funding, the City would need to find other funds to pay for the implementation of the software tool. There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. CEQA: Does not constitute a “Project” per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 RECOMMENDATION Approve a Resolution authorizing an application to the California Automated Permit Processing Program (CALAPP) 12
